I am using =ADDRESS(MATCH(1,E3:E5,0)+2,3) to calculate the cell reference,
but the reference is returned as text. How do I convert it to an actual
reference?

Leader Board
Name
=ADDRESS(MATCH(1,E3:E5,0)+2,3)

/ A B C D E
2 Tag Division Last Name Sponsor Rank
3 Y016 Youth Jackson AC Inc 2
4 A209 Adult Adams TTE 1
5 A902 Adult 2 Shepherd B&F 3

I want to see 'Adams', not the text 'C4'

Thanks for any help you may be able to give me
